An Exclusive Interview With CRISPR
1A senior policy analyst at the American Medical Association in Chicago, Illinois.
Abstract:
This article chronicles a didactic encounter between an ethics-minded physician-scientist and a personified genome editing technology called clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated proteins, commonly abbreviated as CRISPR/Cas, or simply CRISPR. The interview considers clinically and ethically relevant questions about this technology related to patient safety, therapeutic efficacy, equitable access, and global governance of humanity's genetic legacy.
